Details for Cabanas 1 Bedroom, Sleeps 2, 1 Bathroom

Cabana for Bed & Breakfast: We converted 2 small traditional outbuildings of the Quinta da Portela, into 2 individual rooms, with their own access, ‘pedra vista’ walls, suitable for 1 - 2 persons each. Each Cabana has its coffe & tea making facility and a fridge. They share the bathroom with shower, toilet and washbasin (access outdoors through the terrace). From the rooms there is a direct access to the panorama-sun terrace with a wonderful view of 360º of the Mondego valley.On the terrace are chairs and sunbeds and a small children' pool. The Quinta da Portela consists of a traditional country house with in its former oil press building the lounge. We serve a few times a week dinner, in summer on the terrace under the fig tree. The open air Art Atelier, where guests may paint, sculpt, mosaic or engage in any other creative activity, is on the edge of the terrace. The water basin, 20 x 10 x 2 m, with water from the river, is great for swimming, as well as the river Mondego.

Truly rural Portugal

Papapete Wirral England
Review Submitted: October 21, 2008 Date of Stay: October 2008
The collection of accommodations is at the end of a dirt track off a minor road and overlooks a tranquil valley. Both the cabana and the shared, adjacent shower room / WC were clean and comfortable. The owners made us very welcome and offered us a light bite on arrival. We chose to eat with them and other guests. We enjoyed varied conversation and an excellent evening meal, including home-grown, fresh fruit and vegetables.

The owners are passionate about organic farming and the setting reflects this in that it would suit travellers who appreciate rural living. There is, however, access to the internet and the lower farm house does have its own swimming pool.
